Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3184

Andrew said calmly, "No need to trouble yourself. Don't dirty your hands."

He looked at Jose with an indifferent expression. "Move aside. I'm in a decent mood right now, so I won't bother with you."

Jose burst out laughing and took two steps forward, talking to himself. "Damn! You went to the Outlands and bummed around for two years. Who would've thought that when you came back, your skills barely improved, but your tongue got sharper. Deal with me? Andrew, take a good look and feel what level I'm at now!"

As he spoke, Jose's face turned cold, and he released his aura.

Nyx rolled her eyes, not even bothering to give him a proper look.

Meanwhile, Andrew was starting to get impatient. "Get lost. Otherwise, I'll cripple you right here."

Jose's expression darkened immediately. "Andrew, honestly, even though I work for Mr. Vazquez, I actually admire your guts and your attitude as a man. That's why I haven't made my move yet. I'm giving you a fair warning: go back wherever you came from.

"Otherwise, do you think I, a martial god, would waste my breath talking to you like this? There are so many experts in Holtrien, but martial gods are extremely rare. So you really should think this through carefully."

Andrew said coldly, "I could make you kneel with one hand, one move. Think about it… Do you really want to try me?"

Jose snorted. "Andrew, you're full of it. If your father had come here in person and said something like that, I'd believe him. But you? Come back in 50 years after more training!"

With that, he raised his palm and struck directly at Andrew's chest. There was no grand display of power, but he had channeled all his internal energy into the strike, confident that no matter how Andrew tried to defend himself, it would be useless. The only option was to surrender and be captured.

However, Andrew's counterattack was even simpler. He raised his hand and slapped out. He completely ignored Jose's incoming palm strike.

Jose first felt furious, thinking Andrew's action was looking down on him, and that he had a death wish.

Then, Jose sneered coldly, letting Andrew's slap come at him. To him, it would be nothing more than a tickle.

Both strikes landed almost simultaneously.

Though newly promoted, Jose had stayed by Guillermo's side and lacked real combat tempering. He had the strength but none of the actual battle prowess, a weakling among martial gods.

Of course, bullying martial emperors and showing off in front of top experts in Holtrien was still within Jose's capability. But in front of Andrew, the uncrowned king of the Outlands, he was nothing but a showpiece.

"Let's go."

In the end, Andrew did not kill him. Since he was going to find Guillermo anyway, there was no need to rush.

Jose happened to be unconscious right in front of him, his face tilted upward.

As Andrew walked past, he stepped on Jose's face.

Nyx walked past with a playful smile and stepped on his face as well. Then, Valerie smiled mischievously, fearless and bold, and followed with another stomp on his face.
